.....at the price of being rude to people about something that is obviously important to them. Furthermore people that are new to this board.

In any case, the theory is not that the planets necessarily affect what happens, but that they are synchronous with what happens and can therefore be mapped to find things out. Correlation does not assume causality. If they were considered causal, it must be something to do with gravity I suppose. The moon affects lots of people, and affects the tides. It affects me, and I'm pretty rational. My degree was in the History of Science and there has been a lot of what you would see as bunkum taught and believed by scientists. Gravity, when it was first introduced by Newton, was laughed at as being too supernatural. Nobody was willing to believe that those far away planets could exert a force on ours! Did you know, doctors have started to use leeches again, now they understand how they work. The whole posing of science as being value-free and totally objective, is farcical. The economics involved alone ensure that, not to mention the building of peoples reputations.

BTW some of your posts have come pretty close to being flames. If my E-mail had been working, I would have asked Ronnie to take off the one about raping and murdering women. I suggest you do some more writing and thinking.
